Alternate colors in messageindex.template

[dannbass]

Hi!
I successfully alternated colors in the boardindex and the childboards in the messageindex, but still no luck with the topics.
I tried the http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=112131.msg718948#msg718948 method and this one http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=48717.msg346799#msg346799 that is the same but applied.

Could please someone help me out with this? or if anyone knows of a theme that has that so I could take a lot a the line it will really help a lot!

Thanks!

What I did on one theme was this:

Code Select Expand

$cnt = 1;
        foreach ($context['topics'] as $topic)
        {
$cnt++;
if ($cnt >= 2) $cnt = 0;
               echo '
                                <tr class="windowbg', $cnt == 0 ? '' : '2', '" >

Thanks a lot! It worked!

Cool, It's not pretty but it does get the job done.

You could use the modulo operator to save the conditional, something along this lines:

Code Select Expand


$cnt++;
               echo '
                                <tr class="windowbg',  ($cnt % 2) == 1 ?  '' : '2', '" >


Also you can make it not be every two boards, maybe every three or four.
